Abstract

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valuation field with ring of integers $O_{K}$ and algebraically closed residue field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$ . Let $X ∕ K$ be a smooth proper geometrically connected curve of genus $g > 0$ with $X (K) \neq \emptyset$ if $g = 1$ . Assume that $X ∕ K$ does not have good reduction and that it obtains good reduction over a Galois extension $L ∕ K$ of degree $p$ . Let $Y ∕ O_{L}$ be the smooth model of $X_{L} ∕ L$ . Let $H : = Gal (L ∕ K)$ .

In this article, we provide information on the regular model of $X ∕ K$ obtained by desingularizing the wild quotient singularities of the quotient $Y ∕ H$ . The most precise information on the resolution of these quotient singularities is obtained when the special fiber $Y_{k} ∕ k$ is ordinary. As a corollary, we are able to produce for each odd prime $p$ an infinite class of wild quotient singularities having pairwise distinct resolution graphs. The information on the regular model of $X ∕ K$ also allows us to gather insight into the $p$ -part of the component group of the Néron model of the Jacobian of $X$ .
